Right-Wingers accuse the Obama health care reform as being Fascist. Phony grass roots organizations are packing town hall meetings to drown out questions or debate. They are not interested in working to fix a health care system that is a disaster. They are trying to maintain the status quo. They are shills for the insurance industry who are spreading lies and misinformation about the health care proposals to frighten those who refuse to obtain correct information on their own and prefer to be lead by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and other professional loud mouths.

RAFAEL Correa, president of Ecuador, currently visiting Honduras, stated the day before the OAS meeting: "I believe that the OAS has lost its raison d’être, maybe it never had a raison d’être." The news, circulated by ANSA, adds that Correa "prophesized ‘the demise’ of that organization given the many errors it has committed." He affirmed "that the countries of the American continent, given their geographic conditions, cannot all be put ‘in the same basket.’ And for that reason Ecuador proposed some months back the creation of the Organization of Latin American States. “It is not possible for the region’s problems to be discussed in Washington; let us construct something of our own, without countries alien to our culture, our values, and obviously including countries that were inexplicably separated from the inter-American system, and I am referring to the concrete case of Cuba… that was a tremendous shame and demonstrates the double standar...

Click on image to see entire video This dumb-ass seems to be getting around on the video sites. Nothing could be better for this piece of shit. In the video, this fool is happy to display his “Obama Monkey” to someone with a home video cam (I guess this dimwit never heard of video sharing sites) but as soon as he noticed national news zeroing in on him, he ditched the doll to some child. How generous of him. These are the people Rep. John Murtha was referring to and Gov. Rendell claims “there’s only a few of”.

I found this on a wing-nut blog. The closer the election gets, the more braying about Obama being a Communist I find on blogs written by American knuckle draggers. I don’t know if this image was done for a humor site but it is finding its way onto the loonie Right’s blogs apparently.

Misinformation is higher education in the USA How can so many Americans be so stupid and uninformed? The guy at the end is right to be frightened of the violent possibilities of these people. They are capable of anything but intelligent thought!

From My Cartoons My latest cartoon. The Republicans and the Right-Wing in the USA have been trying to paint Obama as a Communist or a Socialist for some time. Is he? Who knows. I suspect he was a typical college Marxist who forgot all the idealism as soon as graduation came and the big bucks started coming in. I live near a big college town and I've seen a lot of those types.

I post this because it is important to counter the virus-like spread of Cliff Kincaid's anti-Obama propaganda. Cliff Kincaid's Aug. 15 Accuracy in Media column proclaims that the Barack Obama campaign's debunking of Jerome Corsi's Obama-bashing book "acknowledges on ... that the mysterious “Frank” in Obama’s 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, is in fact the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis," insisting that the admission "can only add to growing public concern about Obama’s relationship with a Communist pawn of Moscow who was the subject of security investigations by the FBI and various congressional committees which examined Soviet activities in the U.S." In an Aug. 17 column , Kincaid complains that the Obama campaign's debunking "doesn’t identify Davis as a hard-core communist and it dishonestly edits an article about Davis to eliminate references to his admitted involvement in CPUSA activities and make t...

Apparently all the wing-nuts blogging throughout the secret basements complex of the Ministry Of Propaganda hoped that they had found another "swift boat" moment to use on Obama. These people are terrified of him for some reason (and I believe it really has to do with race) and are desperately trying to derail Obama's presidential chances. The vomiting out of hundreds of cut and past articles by these bloggers about Obama's supposed Leftist and Communist ties have been polluting the web for months. How about the whisper campaign that Obama is really a Muslim and the fist bump being a "terrorist" fist "jab". Just do a search since I really don't want to provide a link to anything these buffoons post. The latest non-scandal is that Obama's repainted Boeing 757 no longer sports the US flag on it's tail. His campaign logo has replaced it. This must be another example of Obama's lack of patriotism (fuck, I'm sick of hearing that ...

The New McCarthyism by ~ davidbdr on deviant ART Since a histrionic article about Barack Obama's childhood friendship with the African-American, Communist? poet and journalist, Frank Marshall Davis [link] appeared on the vile AIM (Accuracy In Media) website, [link] the guilt by association charge of being either a Marxist or socialist has been repeated ad nauseum by the Right-Wing hacks of the blogosphere about Obama. Apparently, Obama is a secret Commie mole working for the Communist Party USA to destroy this shining gem of Democracy into a Red gulag. The whole idea would be laughable if it were not for the fact that a large percentage of the US voting public are simpletons with no grasp of history or the reality of their own country. This BS is only going to become more ridiculous as the Right attempt to scuttle Obama's presidential chances. They really fear his intelligence and masterful oratory skills. I can't wait to see the "debates between Obama and McCain....

Much is being made about various statements the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ has made in past sermons. The noisemakers are squawking because of the Reverend's relationship with Barack Obama. You know, the usual attacks using guilt by association. Obviously, if some one Obama knows makes "controversial" statements, he may as well have done it as well. I listened to Wright's messages as broadcast on the news and, truthfully, didn't find anything he said untrue. Just because white America chooses to bury it's collective head up it's ass, does not make those statements any less true. A sermon on the Sunday after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Wright preached that the United States brought the attacks itself. "We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Wright said. "We have supported state terror...

I feel like crap. I've been sick with some foul strain of the plague or something for two weeks now. I can't seem to shake it off. I'm nauseous all of the time and get the occasional case of gagging. There doesn't seem to be a reason for the dry heaves but the ravings of some ding-dong bloggers set off a spasm. It seems the first salvo across Barack Obama's bow has been fired by the terrified wing-nuts on the Right. They must be poopin' their britches watching a black man possibly become president of the USA. Oh yeah, dear god, he's got one of those A-rab soundin' names too! The wing-nut's cut and past frenzy seems to mostly consist of bits of a wonderful piece of red baiting by Cliff Kincaid , one of the great minds at Accuracy In Media .  Accuracy In Media claims to exist to publish the truth about "liberal biased reporting in the media." They do this by countering with a cock-eyed Conservative slant. So much for accuracy, I guess. Well...
